Six men arrested over Leeds shooting

    Six men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in relation to a shooting in Leeds.

    One man was arrested in Leeds city centre by armed officers yesterday afternoon, 31 October, and another man was arrested in an armed operation at an address in Whinmoor earlier in the day. Four further men were arrested when armed officers stopped a vehicle in Bradford.

    The shooting took place in Beeston at about 2.00pm on 28 October. The victim, a 22-year-old man, had been sitting in his BMW parked on Back Maud Avenue, at the junction with Maud Place, when a black Volkswagen Passat pulled up and a shotgun was fired at the BMW damaging the bonnet and windscreen.

    The victim, who was not injured, repeatedly rammed the Passat and drove off from the scene. The Passat was later found burnt out in Cardinal Square.
